I am seeing a psychiatrist, currently in between changing my medications. I have CPTSD and MDD. The previous comment was, what I assumed was an obvious joke, as I spend enough time focused on this as is.
Sorry to hear that, but I think we all reach that point eventually. Like my vocal subconscious and competitive nature makes it any impossibility, I’ve basically heard the song from Annie, Anything You Can Do when I have to do something lol. Lately getting older forces me to see to accept I can’t will myself to live forever and the inevitability of time. But that’s something everyone has to accept, just have to hope society will make it an easy transition. 🥴
Most likely I’d make plans face to face. I have spent too many hours on the phone with loved ones, but that’s usually planned or expected. I don’t like picking up the phone if I don’t know who it is, and even then I’d often rather avoid. Just send me a message please instead.
Same. I used the phone before there were other options, but I always hated it. I don’t like being able to hear someone but not see them. It gives me anxiety.
There are tons of other studies that show massive increases in productivity. These bullshit studies are probably sponsored by commercial real estate landlords. They’re losing $850B per year since 2020.
Sms aren’t limited by my availability…you can send them at 4am in the morning so i can ignore them for 2 weeks for no reason. Meanwhile if you call me at 4am I’d still be awake but it’s none of your business why and i wouldn’t answer them anyway so why bother.
I once signed up for something that required separate home and cell phone numbers. Some shipping service or something. And it wouldn’t let me put the same number for both. Like come on, nobody is paying for landlines nowadays. I ended up putting my parents’ phone number for the home phone (which they coincidentally just got rid of this week.)
I have two landline numbers that came with my internet contract but I don’t have a phone connected to the modem. So whenever your scenario happens to me I just give them one of my real landline numbers. I’ve tried calling myself and you can actually hear it ringing as the caller but no one will ever pick up lol
"My rate for voice services is $0.35 per minute. Ask about by bulk rate for 15, 30, or 60 minute increments when prepaid. Any calls without prepayment will be billed at the per minute rate, net30 terms. Please have a PO# ready when calling."
I’m actually a big fan of how they’ve standardised the design language and accessibility requirements across services. This “why” box that a couple of comments are criticising are likely so they can continue to improve accessibility.
I can speak for their terrible cheapness, I work at a repair shop and we got a lot of HP laptops. It’s extremely common for the very stiff hinge just to snap the upper case because they didn’t even try to reinforce it. Just 3 screws to hold down this half an inch long hinge and that’s it, you can see it flexing and twisting when using it.
I swear all those HPs and frankly a lot of dells have the build of wet newspaper, I wouldn’t touch them (minus HP elite books, my 8770w is great).
On another note Lenovos and Thinkpads are always very sturdy and are very good.
